Summary

Pathe synopsis: Nothing has changed as fast as aeroplanes. In this jet-age we re-capture the early days of aviation at a flying display of the Shuttleworth collection of planes, some of which bombed Germany in World War One. We loop in a string-and-glue flying machine than can muster less horse power...
